Sometimes a pig's gotta fly...........

Hello all, Lora here taking my turn for Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts with
this little piggy whose just gotta fly. Having escaped the confines of
the balloon, she grew some wings and has taken off into blue skies.
Skimming over the trees, enjoying the view, she's a happy little porker!

She is pretty fancy with her necklace of flowers and her glittery wings.

Here is where I began......

I started off with the new ATC Shrine-Steampunk. (which will be coming soon!)
I dry fit it together using a couple of pieces of tape, working out the order that I needed to assemble it in.

Because
the piece is designed with a 'hinge' already, I decided that I would
not glue the bottom or the door on until I was finished working on the
inside of the shadowbox and both sides of the door.

I gave everything a good coat of gesso and started cutting out my bits and pieces.

Worked with the bottom open. I painted a blue sky and built up a little scene for my pig to fly over.

Whilst
things were drying, I painted the door and embellished the front. I
mixed a bit of glaze with cobalt blue paint and coated the balloon with
it, adding some sparkles. I papered the gears, added gold and brown ink
around the edges. A little sparkle on the banner, then glued it on. And added some white dots for detail.
I like adding dots to things.

I glued the bottom and the door on the piece and added a bit of moss (for shrubbery) on the bottom piece. Voila.
A cute and cheerful little box of piggy happiness!
